Coronavirus: Italy extends 'red zones' as infections soar

Italy has added more regions to its coronavirus high-risk 'red zones' as cases across the country hit a new daily record. Campania and Tuscany will join other regions placed under the strictest lockdown measures from Sunday. Authorities in Campania, which includes Naples, have warned that the health system there is close to collapse. Friday's announcement came as Italy confirmed 40,902 new infections - its highest ever daily total. It passed the one million mark earlier this week and there have been more than 44,000 deaths. The government's coronavirus consultant, Walter Ricciardi, told reporters that the country has 'two to three weeks to decide whether to impose a new national lockdown'.
